KNGO

KNGO (1480 AM) is a commercial Vietnamese full service radio station licensed to serve Dallas, Texas, and covering the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Owned by Viet Media LLC, the KNGO transmitter is located off of South Saint Augustine Road in Dallas.

[2] In 1958, KGKO changed its call sign to KBOX, adopting a Top 40 format to compete with Gordon McLendon's top-rated KLIF (1190 AM).

K-Box was the only radio station covering President John F. Kennedy's motorcade live when he was assassinated on November 22, 1963.

(Although KLIF was widely acclaimed for its later coverage of the President's death and the ensuing events, it was not broadcasting live from the motorcade route.)

By 1980, FM radio was growing in dominance and the ability of KBOX to compete with a music format was waning.

Marcos A. Rodriguez purchased the station and changed the format to Spanish-language Banda music with call sign KMRT (1993–1998).

Rodriguez picked the call sign to connote the retailer K-Mart and imply good value for advertisers.

Eventually, the call sign changed to KDXX (1998–2002), and KHCK (1998–2005), a simulcast of Tejano KHCK-FM "Kick FM" until the FM changed format to Cumbia music as KFZO and the AM continued as a stand-alone Tejano station for a few months.

A proposed sale to Chris Muse for $1.5 million on May 13, 2016, plus a $13,000 payment to break the station's tower lease, was terminated without closing.
